Families Influence Media Choices

The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop has released the report Families Matter: Designing Media for a Digital Age, which documents how digital technology is changing the rhythm of family life. Key findings are:

More than half the parents surveyed are concerned about the effect of the use of media on their children’s health, but fewer than one in five parents thinks their kid spends too much time with digital media.

More than a third of parents have learned something technical from their children.
